A woman is set to appear in court next month charged over a fatal crash that killed a pensioner who was out walking his dog.

Ronald Ramsey was walking along Clacton Road in his home town of St Osyth, five miles west of Clacton-on-Sea, when a Volkswagen estate car left the road and collided into the Hoy Pub.

Mr Ramsey was caught in the crossfire and sadly died in the pub landlord's arms after 4.20pm.

His family issued a statement a few days later and said: "As we struggle to understand the devastation we have been left to deal with, we take strength knowing what high regard friends and villagers had for Ronnie, my Dad and brilliant grandad."

Kellie Tandy, 36, of St John's Road, was allegedly the driver of the vehicle and was arrested at the scene.
